fix(translation): stop reading streams after terminal events - #1271
After Anthropic message_stop or an OpenAI Responses terminal event, the Python SDK kept reading until [DONE] or EOF. It could emit later events or wait for upstream to close instead of finishing at the terminal event.
The decoder now yields the terminal event and stops when the codec opts in through StreamCodec::stops_at_terminal_event(). Anthropic Messages and OpenAI Responses opt in. The default keeps reading so Chat Completions and custom codecs can include trailing usage before [DONE] or EOF. The fix adds no state.
Python SDK tests check that Messages and Responses yield their terminal event without another input read, and that Chat Completions preserves and decodes usage after finish_reason. A Rust test checks that a custom codec can keep trailing events. That test failed on the previous PR code because the decoder returned one event instead of two.
Earlier live validation compared authenticated Messages and Responses streams: the baseline made one iterator poll after each terminal event, and the fixed decoder made none. Both builds completed normally. Those runs measured iterator polls; they did not reproduce a hang or extra answer content.
The fixed decoder made no byte-iterator polls after message_stop or response.completed in authenticated live streams from Claude Sonnet 4.5 (/v1/messages) and GPT-5.4 mini (/v1/responses). The baseline made one further poll for each API.
I sent one request per API to each build, using the same prompt about the Rust SSE decoder loop. Each HTTP byte iterator went through the public Python TranslationEngine.decode_stream. A counter recorded iterator polls after the decoder yielded the terminal event. It passed provider bytes through unchanged, without appending frames, delaying EOF, or injecting errors.

All four requests returned HTTP 200, generated text, usage, and the expected terminal event. Both builds completed normally and yielded zero events after the terminal event. These runs show the change in iterator polling; they did not reproduce a hang or extra answer content. Iterator polls do not measure socket reads. Responses output-token counts include reasoning tokens, and the token differences do not establish savings from the fix. The generated reviews were response content, not evidence of decoder correctness.
The PR adds one concise SDK regression. Its input yields message_stop and raises if the decoder reads again. It fails on the unmodified decoder and passes with the fix. The translation and streaming suites pass with the fix: 42 tests total.
decode_stream now stops reading after terminal events for non-Chat Completions formats. It continues reading Chat Completions streams to capture usage. An async test checks the Anthropic message_stop behavior.
decode_stream stops after terminal events for formats other than OpenAI Chat Completions. Chat Completions streams continue until [DONE] or EOF. The test verifies that an Anthropic message_stop event is yielded without another upstream read.
Custom stream codecs can lose usage emitted after completion. Address that compatibility risk or accept it before merging.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 2bb7b
The change is narrowly scoped and adds no new privileges. No security regression was identified in the inspected paths, but compatibility with custom stream formats and transport-specific cleanup remain uncertain.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The directly supported exposure is response-stream consumption by callers of this decoder, including the Python API. A provider-controlled terminal event can now end non-Chat consumption earlier, but the inspected change does not grant that provider new credentials, execution authority, or access to another tenant or service. Deployment-wide consumer coverage is incomplete.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Stream data is interpreted through the codec selected from the application-provided registry. Unknown format lookup fails, and an incoming event does not select or register a different codec. The new stop occurs after parsing and event delivery rather than bypassing those steps.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The Python wrapper rejects overlapping reads and closes its wrapper on exhaustion, exceptions, or context exit. Closing cancels an outstanding input read and releases native and input references. It does not explicitly call aclose on the caller's upstream iterator, so these controls do not establish transport-specific closure guarantees.

A rabbit reads the stream with care One stop event ends the journey there Chat streams carry usage on Till [DONE] or EOF has come Then hops away beneath the moon
The new test covers Anthropic termination but not the Chat exception. A test with a separate usage event would catch an early stop that drops usage.

Add a test alongside test_decoder_stops_at_message_stop that verifies the
openai_chat decoder continues after a finish_reason event and yields the

The Anthropic test cannot detect a Responses-specific stopping regression. Add a Responses case that checks the yielded event and fails if the decoder polls upstream again.

- Around line 549-552: Replace the hardcoded `WireFormat::OpenAiChat` exception
in the `saw_terminal` break condition with a codec-level opt-in that determines
whether decoding stops at a terminal event. Add or reuse the appropriate
`StreamCodec` capability so custom codecs can preserve trailing events,
including usage, while codecs that opt in still terminate early.
